Got a dilemma. Two really cool events are going on in the same afternoon: Sunday Sep2.

I've been to the Mpls Messaround every year for the last 8 years
Lately we've been having group rides there
Was planning on getting some pinstriping done on Jacked Up Pilot

Then a friend told me about the Coaster Brake Catastrophe (new this year)

I'd go for the Messaround , why break tradition , unless you were going to compete in the CBC

I don't think I would compete without some practice, I agree about the Messaround, Thanks for the input

The CBC could be lots of fun. Who knows, maybe you will be only 1 of 3 who show up and take home 1st in the innaugural race. :mrgreen:

Treat the day like an episode of a bad 80s sitcom. Go to one then make an excuse like "I have to go to the little boy's room." Then speed off to the other one for a few minutes with other friends, then make a similar excuse to go back to the other, and so on, and so on. Also do something like change clothes in between each one, then maybe you'll accidentally wear the wrong outfit to the wrong event, then you could hear the laugh track.

I think it could be fun too. I'm sure there will be a fair amount of people there because there have been other daredevil events
Stupor Bowl for one

Art Shanty Ice race (funny I just found this and I'm in somebody's video (yellow gloves sitting down) :lol:

I'm thinking I'm more ready for something less treacherous but super cranked up tunes, and straight out pipes
